New here, not sure if this is the right place for this type of question. I've been trying to find some criminal cases I've read or heard about over the years, but I can't remember any names. I'll add as many details as I remember.
1) Saw this one on some kind of true crime show, probably in the 2000s. A man had killed his wife, but while she was being murdered somehow a call was accidentally placed to a friend of theirs, who later heard the murder on their answering machine. I remember them showing footage of the trial where the couple's adult daughter started screaming at her father in the courtroom.
2) Pretty sure this one took place in the '80s. Two different husband/wife couples were murdered in motel rooms in separate incidents, thought to be the work of one killer. One couple had gone to see someone who'd promised to help the husband with his country singing career. (This couple had previously been held hostage for ransom in Mexico when they went to meet someone there for the same reason.) The other couple had gone to meet someone to sell some sort of electronic equipment. There was a main suspect (I think he might have owned an electronics store), but he was never charged and later died of natural causes. I remember reading that before one of the murders, an unidentified woman called either the police or the motel office (can't remember which) and reported suspicious activity in the room where the couple was later found dead. Speculation was that the woman knew about the murder plan, and this washer attempt to stop it.
3) Most likely happened in the '00s. A couple were killed by a guy (I believe they were beaten to death, maybe with a hammer). I believe he was related to the male victim. He made them withdraw money from an ATM before killing them. Neighbors heard screaming, but didn't call the cops. The bodies were later found wrapped in carpet in a closet or crawlspace. From what I recall the suspect was in a car with his father when they were pursued by cops, and the dad (who I don't think had anything to do with the original murders) shot and killed his son before he could be arrested.
4) Likely in the '00s. Two women, and either one or two men, were shot to death in a mobile home. The women were found under the mobile home as if they'd tried to hide. Nobody was ever charged, but there were at least two suspects. One was the woman who owned the land on which the mobile home resided, who'd allegedly had some problems with the victims. Another was a man who was doing time for a crime in another state (Texas?) when authorities finally questioned him. His girlfriend got in touch with authorities to say he'd confessed to her, saying about the female victims something like, "you should have seen their faces". He claimed his girlfriend was lying, denied any involvement, ans was never charged.
5) Probably '90s or '00s. I believe this happened in Canada. Several people were murdered in an apartment. A couple people in a neighboring apartment were also murdered; speculation was that the people in the second apartment weren't involved, and were just killed because they may have seen or heard the killings in the first apartment. I believe the suspects were either bikers or drug dealers.
6) '70s or '80s. I saw this one on a true crime show. A young girl, maybe 11 or 12, had problems at home. She ran away and hitched a ride (possibly with a trucker). She was later found dead. I remember they showed a crime scene photo of the body. She was dressed and clearly in rigor mortis. The case went cold until decades later when they linked it to a guy who was doing time in another state (possibly Washington state, but I could be wrong on that point). I remember the detectives saying how he seemed shocked when they started asking questions about this old case, and then be clammed up and claimed he didn't know anything about it. I don't recall if he was ever charged.
